Porous Materials Confining Single Atoms for Catalysis [PDF]
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021 In recent years, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have received extensive attention due to their unique structure and excellent performance. Currently, a variety of porous materials are used as confined single-atom catalysts, such as zeolites, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), or carbon nitride (CN).

Microscale whispering-gallery-mode light sources with lattice-confined atoms. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2021 Microlasers, relying on the strong coupling between active particles and optical microcavity, exhibit fundamental differences from conventional lasers, such as multi-threshold/thresholdless behavior and nonclassical photon emission.

Electronegativity under Confinement
Molecules, 2021 The electronegativity concept was first formulated by Pauling in the first half of the 20th century to explain quantitatively the properties of chemical bonds between different types of atoms. Today, it is widely known that, in high-pressure regimes, the

Temporal Response of Atoms Trapped in an Optical Dipole Trap: A Primer on Quantum Computing Speed
Atoms, 2023 An atom confined in an optical dipole trap is a promising candidate for a qubit. Analyzing the temporal response of such trapped atoms enables us to estimate the speed at which quantum computers operate.

Prospects for single-photon sideband cooling of optically trapped neutral atoms
Physical Review Research, 2021 We propose a cooling scheme for realizing single-photon sideband cooling on particles trapped in a state-dependent optical potential. We develop a master rate equation from an ab initio model and find that in experimentally feasible conditions it is ...

Confining and compressing the atom [PDF]
The European Physical Journal D, 2020 Abstract A review of effects due to the confinement and compression of atoms is presented. It is argued that they provide new insights into the properties of atoms and, in particular, into their interactions with the microscopic environment.

Toy model of harmonic and sum frequency generation in 2D dielectric nanostructures
Scientific Reports, 2021 Optical nonlinearities of matter are often associated with the response of individual atoms. Here, using a toy oscillator model, we show that in the confined geometry of a two-dimensional dielectric nanoparticle a collective nonlinear response of the ...
